Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an array substrate including a display area and a non-display area. The non-display area is provided with a peripheral circuit therein. The peripheral circuit includes a test area 100, a bonding area 200, and a cutting area 300. The test area 100 is provided with a test signal line therein for providing a test signal. The bonding area 200 is adjacent to the display area, and the bonding area 200 and the test area 100 are electrically connected through signal leads. The cutting area 300 is disposed between the test area 100 and the bonding area 200. After the cutting process is completed in the cutting area 300, a cutting opening is formed on each of the signal leads, and the position of the cutting opening of at least one signal lead is different from the positions of the cutting openings of other signal leads in height along the extending direction of the signal leads.

It will be appreciated that after the test is completed, the signal leads need to be cut in the cutting area 300 by the laser, so that the connection between the test area 100 and the bonding area 200 is disconnected, and the data signal in the bonding area 200 is prevented from flowing backwards to the test area 100 after the test is completed. Referring to FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, since the position of the cutting opening of the at least one signal lead is different from the positions of the cutting openings of other signal leads in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, a distance between the cutting opening of the signal lead and the cutting opening of the adjacent signal lead is increased, so that the possibility that the two adjacent signal leads are connected together through metal debris is reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of short circuit between the two adjacent signal leads caused by laser cutting, and improving the yield of the display panel.

In an embodiment, in the cutting area 300, the positions of the cutting openings of the two adjacent signal leads are different in height along an extending direction of the signal leads. In the present embodiment, the positions of the cutting openings of any two adjacent signal leads are different from each other in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, so that the possibility that the metal debris at the cutting positions of any two adjacent signal leads are connected together is reduced, the problem of short circuit between the two adjacent signal leads caused by laser cutting is avoided to the greatest extent, and the yield of the display panel is further improved.

In an embodiment, the test area 100 includes an odd data wiring 110 and an even data wiring 120. The signal leads include first leads L1 and second leads L2, and the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are alternately arranged. The odd data wiring 110 and the bonding area 200 are electrically connected through the first leads L1, and the even data wiring 120 and the bonding area 200 are electrically connected through the second leads L2. In addition, the positions of the cutting openings of the plurality of first leads L1 are the same in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, and the positions of the cutting openings of the plurality of second leads L2 are the same in height along the extending direction of the signal leads.

It will be appreciated that prior to the laser cutting, the laser needs to be aligned to the cutting position, and if heights of the cutting openings of the plurality of signal leads are not the same along the extending direction of the signal leads, the laser needs to be re-aligned to another cutting position after each signal lead is cut, which takes a considerable amount of time. In this embodiment, since the positions of the cutting openings of the plurality of first leads L1 are the same in height along the extending direction of the signal leads and the positions of the cutting openings of the plurality of second leads L2 are the same in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, the process of aligning the laser to the cutting position only needs to be repeated once, thereby shortening the time required for laser cutting. Moreover, since the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are alternately arranged, the cutting positions of each adjacent two signal leads are different from each other in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, so that the possibility that the metal debris at the cutting positions of any adjacent two signal leads are connected together is reduced, and the problem of short circuit between the adjacent two signal leads caused by the laser cutting is avoided to the greatest extent.

In an embodiment, the positions of the cutting openings of the first leads L1 are higher than the positions of the cutting openings of the second leads L2 along the extending direction of the signal leads. Alternatively, the positions of the cutting openings of the first leads L1 are lower than the positions of the cutting openings of the second leads L2 along the extending direction of the signal leads. It will be appreciated that since the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are alternately arranged, whether the positions of the cutting openings of the first leads L1 are higher than the positions of the cutting openings of the second leads L2 or the positions of the cutting openings of the first leads L1 are lower than the positions of the cutting openings of the second leads L2 along the extending direction of the signal leads, the distance between the cutting openings of two adjacent signal leads can be increased, thereby avoiding the short circuit of the two adjacent signal leads at the cutting area 300 due to the accumulation of metal debris.

In an embodiment, the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are disposed in different layers. It will be appreciated that in order to avoid the crossing of the first leads L1 with the even data wiring 120, or the crossing of the second leads L2 with the odd data wiring 110, during the manufacturing of the array substrate, the first leads L1 and the odd data wiring 110 are disposed in the same layer, the second leads L2 and the even data wiring 120 are disposed in the same layer, and the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are located on different layers. Since the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are located on different layers, for example, when the first leads L1 are closer to a surface than the second leads L2, all the first leads L1 can be cut by using one laser cutting process, the cutting parameters of the laser do not need to be adjusted, and the second leads L2 are not cut, which is advantageous for reducing the adjustment times of the laser and reducing the complexity of the laser cutting.

In an embodiment, cutting depths of the cutting positions of the first leads L1 are different from cutting depths of the cutting positions of the second leads L2. It will be appreciated that in order to avoid the crossing of the first leads L1 with the even data wiring 120, or the crossing of the second leads L2 with the odd data wiring 110, the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are disposed in different layers during the manufacturing of the array substrate. Therefore, in order to connect or disconnect the first leads L1 and connect or disconnect the second leads L2, the cutting depths of the cutting positions of the first leads L1 are different from the cutting depths of the cutting positions of the second leads L2.

Referring to FIG. 3, based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a method of manufacturing an array substrate, including the following steps.

At step S310, a plurality of array areas are formed on a base substrate to obtain a backplane. Each of the array areas includes a display area and a non-display area. The non-display area is provided with a peripheral circuit therein. The peripheral circuit includes a test area 100, a bonding area 200, and a cutting area 300. The test area 100 is provided with a test signal line therein for providing a test signal. The bonding area 200 is adjacent to the display area, and the bonding area 200 and the test area 100 are electrically connected through signal leads. The cutting area 300 is disposed between the test area 100 and the bonding area 200.

At step S320, the backplane is divided into a plurality of the array substrates.

At step S330, in a test phase, a test signal is provided through the test area 100, and the test area 100 provides the test signal to the display area through the bonding area 200 to test the display area.

At step S340, after the test is completed, the signal leads are cut in the cutting area 300 by a laser, and a cutting opening is formed on each of the signal leads to disconnect a connection between the test area 100 and the bonding area 200. A cutting position of at least one signal lead is different from positions of the cutting openings of other signal leads in height along the extending direction of the signal leads.

In this embodiment, after the test is completed, the signal leads need to be cut in the cutting area 300 by the laser, so that the connection between the test area 100 and the bonding area 200 is disconnected, and the data signal in the bonding area 200 is prevented from flowing backwards to the test area 100 after the test is completed. In the present embodiment, since the position of the cutting opening of the at least one signal lead is different from the positions of the cutting openings of other signal leads in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, a distance between the cutting opening of the signal lead and the cutting opening of the adjacent signal lead is increased, so that the possibility that the two adjacent signal leads are connected together through metal debris is reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of short circuit between the two adjacent signal leads caused by laser cutting, and improving the yield of the display panel.

In an embodiment, the cutting the signal leads in the cutting area by the laser, and forming the cutting opening on each of the signal leads includes the followings.

The cutting line is cut by a multiple laser cutting process, a cutting opening is formed on each of the signal leads, and the positions of the cutting openings of the two adjacent signal leads are different in height along the extending direction of the signal leads. It will be appreciated that the cutting positions of any two adjacent signal leads are different from each other in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, so that the possibility that the metal debris at the cutting positions of any two adjacent signal leads are connected together is reduced, the problem of short circuit between the two adjacent signal leads caused by laser cutting is avoided to the greatest extent, and the yield of the display panel is further improved.

In an embodiment, the test area 100 includes an odd data wiring 110 and an even data wiring 120. The signal leads include first leads L1 and second leads L2, and the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are alternately arranged. The odd data wiring 110 and the bonding area 200 are electrically connected through the first leads L1, and the even data wiring 120 and the bonding area 200 are electrically connected through the second leads L2. The cutting the signal leads in the cutting area by the laser includes:

Aligning the laser to the cutting position of the first leads L1, performing a laser cutting on the plurality of first leads L1 by laser, respectively, to disconnect a connection between the odd data wiring 110 and the bonding area 200; and

Aligning the laser to the cutting position of the second leads L2, performing a laser cutting on the plurality of second leads L2 by laser, respectively, to disconnect a connection between the even data wiring 120 and the bonding area 200.

It will be appreciated that prior to the laser cutting, the laser needs to be aligned to the cutting position, and if cutting heights of the plurality of signal leads are not the same along the extending direction of the signal leads, the laser needs to be re-aligned to another cutting position after each signal lead is cut, which takes a considerable amount of time. In this embodiment, since the positions of the cutting openings of the plurality of first leads L1 are the same in height and the positions of the cutting openings of the plurality of second leads L2 are the same in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, the process of aligning the laser to the cutting position only needs to be repeated once, thereby shortening the time required for laser cutting. Moreover, since the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are alternately arranged, the cutting positions of each adjacent two signal leads are different from each other in height along the extending direction of the signal leads, so that the possibility that the metal debris at the cutting positions of any adjacent two signal leads are connected together is reduced, and the problem of short circuit between the adjacent two signal leads caused by the laser cutting is avoided to the greatest extent.

In an embodiment, the positions of the cutting openings of the first leads L1 are higher than the positions of the cutting openings of the second leads L2 along the extending direction of the signal leads. Alternatively, the positions of the cutting openings of the first leads L1 are lower than the positions of the cutting openings of the second leads L2 along the extending direction of the signal leads. In the present embodiment, since the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are alternately arranged, whether the positions of the cutting openings of the first leads L1 are higher than the positions of the cutting openings of the second leads L2 or the positions of the cutting openings of the first leads L1 are lower than the positions of the cutting openings of the second leads L2 along the extending direction of the signal leads, the distance between the cutting openings of two adjacent signal leads can be increased, thereby avoiding the short circuit of the two adjacent signal leads at the cutting area 300 due to the accumulation of metal debris.

In an embodiment, the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are disposed in different layers. It will be appreciated that in order to avoid the crossing of the first leads L1 with the even data wiring 120, or the crossing of the second leads L2 with the odd data wiring 110, during the manufacturing of the array substrate, the first leads L1 and the odd data wiring 110 are disposed in the same layer, the second leads L2 and the even data wiring 120 are disposed in the same layer, and the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are located on different layers. Since the first leads L1 and the second leads L2 are located on different layers, for example, when the first leads L1 are closer to the surface than the second leads L2, all the first leads L1 can be cut by using one laser cutting process, the cutting parameters of the laser do not need to be adjusted, and the second leads L2 are not cut, which is advantageous for reducing the adjustment times of the laser and reducing the complexity of the laser cutting.

After the cutting process is completed in the cutting area 300, a cutting opening is formed on each of the signal leads, and the position of the cutting opening of at least one signal lead is different from the positions of the cutting openings of other signal leads in height along the extending direction of the signal leads.
